There's the weather. Summer in the South is hot, wet, and green. The air is heavy with humidity. The sun beats down relentlessly, interrupted by frequent rains that, somehow, barely lower the temperature. Fall will come soon after Labor Day, but in July relief still seems a long way away.
There's the housing market. The weather may be hot, but real estate agents are hard at work. Spring and summer are High Season for the housing market, and 2016 is another year of declining inventory in the Triangle. Desperate buyers compete for the desirable houses, which attract multiple offers and can sell in a day.
Single-family detached homes under $250,000 are golden! After just one weekend on the market, the owner of this Apex cutie had three offers, each one eager to pay higher than the list price.
There are some ways to beat the heat. Put on a bathing suit and stay wet all day -- that's your best option. Many subdivisions have pools that rival water parks! This one is in Amberley, a community in West Cary.
Might as well embrace the heat. It's summer, after all.
